Flux transfer apparatus

Abstract

This flux transfer apparatus (10) comprises: a stage (12) having a recessed portion (13) for collecting flux (51); a flux pot (20) which is an annular member having a through hole (21) into which the flux (51) is introduced, which reciprocates along a top surface (14) of the stage (12) to supply the flux (51) that has been introduced into the through hole (21) into the recessed portion (13), and which levels off the top surface of the flux using a bottom surface (22); and a cooling mechanism (30) for cooling the stage (12). By this means, a rise in the temperature of the stage in the flux collecting apparatus is suppressed.

1 . A flux transfer apparatus, comprising:
 a stage having a recessed portion for collecting flux in a central portion of a top surface;   a flux pot, which is an annular member having a through hole into which the flux is introduced, reciprocates along the top surface of the stage to supply the flux having been introduced into the through hole into the recessed portion, and levels off a top surface of the flux using a bottom surface; and   a cooling mechanism for cooling the stage,   wherein the flux transfer apparatus dips a tip of a protruding electrode of an electronic component into the flux collected in the recessed portion to transfer the flux to the tip of the protruding electrode,   the flux pot returns to an initial position at a periphery of the recessed portion at a time of transfer of the flux, and   the cooling mechanism is installed to a lower side of the initial position of the stage.   
     
     
         2 . The flux transfer apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cooling mechanism is a Peltier element.
